Confusing behaviour with intents in Android

I call GooglePlay from my app through an intent and again after I kill my own app:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String sModule = "market://search?q=pub:mycompany";
intent.setData(Uri.parse(sModule));
startActivity(intent);

finish();
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

Task manager shows, that only GooglePlay is running. My app isn't there anymore.

So my focus is GooglePlay at the moment. When going to the Desktop through the Home-Button and calling my App again it directs me to GooglePlay again.

Why is that? How can I call GooglePlay from my app independently?

I expected that when starting my app again, which I had previously killed, it would start my app and not focus on google play.

keyword is "launchMode" and "task".
this type of problems are so annoying and much complicated in android.
but this time you can try this.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String sModule = "market://search?q=pub:mycompany";
intent.setData(Uri.parse(sModule));
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

finish();

if u cant solve, try combine another flags with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. cheers!
